The 20th IAMA International Conference 22-24 April 2010, Citè de la Musique, Paris.
Full details of the conference will be posted on these pages as and when the information is confirmed.
"Around Us" (in French, environ ) is a term that embraces the broad concept of man’s interaction with his surroundings and the impact it has on him. Notably in our field of work, it is the human element that makes the spaces we inhabit in the performing arts important to the success of our work. It is how we use our resources, talents and enterprise to reach people. If we think of this as "environment" we need to think about the broader context of where we perform, our impact we make in our communities, on the artists we manage and the audiences who engage with us. It is also about the sustainable environment too which today we cannot ignore. The conference will seek inspire delegates to think about their work and create a new awareness of what is "Around Us".

It has been my great pleasure and challenge to programme the 20th IAMA International Conference at the Cité de la Musique, Paris. The conference committee namely, Emmanuel Hondré, Caroline Sonrier, Pierre Korzilius and Hervé Boutry have compiled the panel sessions which look at the concept of environment - not only our daily responsibility to this fragile planet of ours, but also the broader concept of man’s interaction with his surroundings and the impact it has. As with the case for sustainable living on earth, we need to be aware of our impact that we make in our communities, on the artists we manage and the audiences who engage with us.

Do think about the impact of how you might travel to Paris - if it is possible by train, consider it, if you fly, perhaps you want to off-set your carbon footprint? In Paris, consider how you get to the conference itself. Small contributions by each individual will go a long way in the end. We’ve come up with a special IAMA logo to demonstrate our environmental intentions so do look out for it!
For the first time, the conference will be on twitter.com/IAMAconference. You will gain insights into session ideas well in advance of the conference and be better prepared to debate and share your thoughts with other delegates.
I’m looking forward to meeting you in Paris and encourage you to book before the early registration deadlines to get the best rates.
Catherine Le Bris, Conference Chairman, CLB Management
